Jackstands?
Anyone had any experience with the jackstands they sell at autozone or pepboys for that matter? I'll be needing a a set in the next week or so (finally taking the time to fix my header leak
 ) and i checked out the ones at autozone and pepboys and they were both the same brand...can't remember the name right now...anyways, the price was awfully good..but i don't know about quality? Or are jackstands all the same? Anyone know where i could get a good set at a good price?4.6

They are probably fine, are they heavy? did you take them out of the box to look at. i have some from autozone and they are great. i say the heavier they are the better

For the most part, jackstands are jackstands. I have had many sets with NO failures ever. I have both the 2 ton and 6 ton stands that were both bought at Wal-Mart. The 6 tons were on clearance for $10 a pair. I paid $15 a pair for the 2 tons about 2 years ago.

Just look at it and make sure it doesnt look flimsy or crappy and you should be ok.
